Sound like it’s going to try and follow the same path as Erskine

Coulson QRF flying in to staging at Shafter airport getting ready for the night shift. 3 Chinooks plus helco.

To bad they didn’t have that last night for Havilah not to say it would have been the ultimate game changer

What’s QRF??

[ontheradio]

Quick Reaction Force. Three Boeing CH-47s.

[NSilver]

Town of Havilah heavily damaged. Almost destroyed.

[NSilver]

Witness says big Whirls in fire area. Copters may have been able to fly.

[Buffalohead]

Coulson Quick Reaction Force. Kern and Sequoia got spread too thin on this one, especially for the conditions and fuels in the Havilah area. Would it have made a difference; I’m not gonna second guess anyone flying in fire. We had decent fire behavior the first night of the Stagecoach fire, and I would guess the flashy fuels had a much heavier loading than what we experienced in 2020. I suspect this won’t stop before it hits Kelso Valley, and I’m glad I don’t have anything in Bodfish, Isabella, Mt Mesa or Southlake.

Hard to look at the pics of Havilah, I worked at that station back in the late 70s’. Lived in the Kern River Valley for 25 years working on the SQF. Not trying to Armchair QB.

[arff]

Do you have any pictures that you can share?

[logchief1]

Unfortunately not, wasn’t big into pics back then. Now everybody’s got a camera in their pocket.

I believe they did, but they got pulled off for the new start off 155.

Search Havilah on Youtube, I find 2 videos.

[Flyron]

I have only one drone view from last year on a road trip through there.

Are you thinking the fire is going to burn east then move north into the squirrel valley area? Thx
